HAYNE & HINDY - Kangaroos

[ParraAds]

Creagh and Poore are very unlucky. Dave Taylor also strikes me as a guy that would have been awesome off the bench.

Shillington?? thought he was a bit down on form this year to be honest.

Hindmarsh, Cronk rewarded with national call-up

October 7, 2009 - 12:02PM

Melbourne halfback Cooper Cronk and Parramatta back-rower Nathan Hindmarsh have been rewarded for their grand final heroics with selection in Australia's 24-man squad for the Four Nations rugby league tournament.
Cronk has edged out Gold Coast captain Scott Prince for the back-up halfback spot behind Johnathan Thurston after creating two of Melbourne's four tries in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Eels on Sunday.
Coach Tim Sheens and selectors opted for Wests Tigers hooker Robie Farah ahead of Bulldogs rake Michael Ennis as the second-choice No.9 behind Storm skipper Cameron Smith.
Canberra forward David Shillington is the bolter in the squad, while Storm prop Brett White has also received a call-up.
The Kangaroos depart in two weeks the prestigious tour of Britain and France.

As much as I personally couldn't give a rats anus about so called 'rugby league internationals', I'm rapt for Hindy because he'd be so appreciative of being back in Rep football calculations and its a just reward for his endeavour over the past couple of seasons.

There's plenty of time over the off season for him to have surgery, rest and have a delayed start to the season if need be. If he wants to be there, I hope he can get there.

Absolutely stoked for Hindy.

Will Sheens allow Hayne the freedom to insert himself at will like DA has? Or will he need to play a more structured game?

I reckon structured.

Hayne is a great ball runner. With Cronk and Lockyer setting him up, you will see is brilliant running game come afore.

In the GF, he was trying to be the playmaker and forgot a bit about his running game. i.e. bursting onto a pass off mateo, et al.

However, he will be playing wing which will limit his opportunities

It will be a good experience for him. Gives him more insight on structured play.

Furthermore, hope he bunks with Lockyer. A great fullback who transitioned to a great 5/8th and hope he learns HEAPS from him.

Looking forward to seeing them in action. Hopefully we get coverage in Adelaide.

Great decision getting Hindmarsh in. He deserves it. And I agree...Grothe should have got in also.

Optimisic about Mortimer and Reddy I think.

Great news for Hindy and Hayne, not one Dragons player picked. Ouch!!

I love international footy, cant wait. Good on Hindy, would love to see Hayne at fullback though.

Andrew Johns played the bulk of his early Kangaroos career at hooker before he got a crack at his preferred position. Hayne's time at fullback will come.

That was largely due to Chris Andersons love for Brett Kimmorley.

Congrats to Hindy - I didn't expect his selection. But his selection now vindicates his form, and he can choose to say... nah, I'll have surgery instead thanks!

Good luck to him whatever he decides.

I don't think Grothe and Reddy were even on the radar for national selection, but I am surprised Jennings was picked...

 

[ParraAds]

That was largely due to Chris Andersons love for Brett Kimmorley.

In the early days it was more due to old timers like Allan Langer still being on the scene.

Congrats to both players. Hope they can do us proud.

Bring on the Four Nations! Love my international league!

lets get one thing straight here,hindmarsh was picked for the australian team on form,not a sympathy vote ,his 62 takle 11 hit-ups helped his cause a little.

Hindmarshes form has been the same for the last 4 years.

Well done guys! You'll do us proud.
